Fantastic Bargains at Claire's

Just back from a great bargain hunting lunch break :T

At Claire's, all their sales lines are now 5 for £5, regardless of either the origianl or the reduced price. I got 5 bags to put away for birthday presents for my daughter's friends. They had been £18 each, were reduced to £12, and I got 5 for £5!

The bags were the biggest bargain, but they also had hats,scarves, purses and leggings

    Ours has stopped doing this - they'd had the 5 for £5 banners up for a while so I went to have a look today but instead they had bagged everything up into 'Lucky bags'.
    Each lucky bag has 10 mystery items in for £3. I got one and it had sunglasses, alice band, laces, novelty lolly, gift bag, glovelet things, plastic jelly bracelet bands, two pairs of earrings and an eyeshadow triple.

    Those lucky bags are great. I bought them last year and I used them to fill birthday party bags (got rid of gigantic earrings though;they went straight in the bin :)). Lots of HSM, HM stuff, make-up, rings, purses, hairbands, belts (nice ones), necklaces, hats & scarves. All bags haven't got the same stuff but our birthday guests were delighted. Would def get them again and stock up for the next birthday party!

  • Hi

    I have been to our local Claire's and there is no offer 5 items for £5 but lots of things are 30% off (Hello Kitty stuff, make-up etc). I got 3 lucky bags and was very lucky:)!
    There were lovely winter hats&gloves, nice hairbands, little charms, belts and purses, a couple of massive earrings but I think it's still such a great bargain - £3 only for 10 items.
